An Intranet-
proprietary, sortable, email-like medium to communicate with fellow
members, or groups of members that affords one the option to
maintain anonymity. Only members can use this useful tool.

Golf Course Database- sortable,
scratch specific, peer reviewed/ranked with separate hole-by-hole,
scratch player specific strategy profiles. This will take time to
develop as it is driven via member provided data.

Association/Federation/Union/Tour Database &
Linkage-
largest, most comprehensive & accurate such sortable database, by
far, in the world. There are over 550 such organizations although
it is limited to golf governing bodies, significant organizations
affiliated with either the USGA or R&A, licensed handicap
administrators (by USGA, CONGU, EGA, RCGA or AGU)
and/or entities that conduct significant scratch events. This
includes all national level or higher PGA’s as well as the
Section/Regional/District PGA offices in all major golf countries.
Any significant pro tour is included as well as most junior tours
and organizations. Each organization data page provides logo, name,
mailing address, emails, telephone with country code, fax, website
address and a summary description.

Bulletin
Boards- Home
exchange, equipment wanted, equipment for sale, scratch gatherings
(like skin game locations),
stories/jokes, places to go, prospective members & the Director's
forum for starters. The equipment boards will include linkage to
over 35 organizations worldwide that are commercially involved
and/or traders in used equipment plus auction site linkage.

SPG Tournaments- the SPG
conducts scratch events including with the Scratch Players Championship
(SPC), inaugurated in 2000, that now hosts one of the top amateur
fields in the USA. There is also the Scratch Players Mid-Amateur
with several other scratch events planned. How many SPG conducted
events will ultimately be determined by the membership.

Comprehensive Golf Linkage- provides
topical categories and lists thereof that link directly to specific
site pages of interest to scratch players. This area will also
provide direct linkage to handicap verification sites. Future
growth in this area will be membership driven.

SPG affiliate/associate Golf Clubs-
Assn/Fed/Union affiliated clubs for members to "hang their handicap"
or to gain access to events in other GA's
with membership fees at very low levels. Each will be established
when a sufficient # of members are gathered on sign up sheets. The
Scratch Players Golf Club (SPGC) affiliated with the NCGA has about
60 members from three states and an average membership Index better
than zero as well as players holding state titles in four states.
The SPGC-NCGA annual membership dues is about $40.

SPG Golf Course Rankings- The SPG
will conduct regional course rankings from time to time similar to
the
Northern Cal/Nev
ranking previously completed. Eventually, the SPG will publish
their own national and world rankings.

SPG Hall of Fame- The SPG
will eventually induct amateurs and professionals annually either
through encompassing regional "Halls" from esteemed bodies (such as
the RCGA) or via SPG membership vote. The World Golf Hall of Fame
in St Augustine, FL focuses primarily on the world's top
professional tour players with over 100 such inductees.

SPG Foundation- The SPG
will provide mediums for scratch players to "give back to the game"
via scratch player venues in time or through tax deductible,
charitable, cash or property contributions.

Otherareas of
the member's section of the site will have pages that focus on the
Psychological / Spiritual aspects of the game, Club Fitting, Member
Discount Vendors and other ideas still under development. There
will also be the areas that pertain to SPG
business such as the Membership Roster, Board of Directors &
Committee activity, Financial Statements, etc.

* This
organization is pursuing an immense agenda. Consequently, databases and
certain benefit areas may not be fully completed.

The
tournament database in particular will ultimately be huge and
development thereof will track the primary demographics of the
membership as it evolves. The golf course database will develop more
quickly but much of the pertinent strategy data will be derived from
member completed course profiles. Quality first, then quantity.
